Hey everybody, happy Friday! I’m still working on Christmas projects which I do all year long. How about you… have you started on them, are you plugging away, or are you finished? Leslie here, sharing an inspiration project featuring the absolutely gorgeous Cardinals and Cardinals 2 stamp sets along with the coordinating Cardinal die and the Heart Oval Insert die. This CAS-ish vintage card is a super simple design that would be so easy to mass produce for everybody on your Christmas list.
I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from ivory cardstock along with layering panels from kraft paper and two coordinating patterned papers. I tore the top edge of the three layering panels and adhered them to the card base. I stamped the floral music image from the Cardinals stamp set on the left edge and the sentiment from the Cardinals 2 stamp set on a scrap piece of ivory cardstock, both in brown ink, and cut the sentiment with the Heart Oval Insert die. I traced around the outside edge of the oval die cut with a pencil onto a scrap piece of kraft paper, hand-cut it just inside the tracing line, and adhered it behind the die cut. I stamped the cardinal in black ink on red cardstock and cut it with the coordinating Cardinal die. I die cut two additional cardinals and adhered them on top of one another for a little dimension, and then adhered them to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several small red gemstones.
